The Moab Arts Festival invites you to exhibit your original artwork at the 16th Annual Memorial Day Moab Arts Festival on Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25, 2008 from 10 - 8 pm Saturday and 10 - 6 pm Sunday. The Festival takes place at the Swanny City Park, located on the corner of 400 North and 100 West. Both covered space and outdoor space is available to exhibitors. Spaces are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Our goal is to offer you, the artist and craftsperson, an opportunity to display and sell your work in the friendly atmosphere in one of the world’s most picturesque settings. The Festival is promoted through radio, television, newspapers, posters, and highway signs, attracting numerous visitors to this fun and fabulous event. The Moab Arts Festival is a spectacular forum for high-quality fine arts and crafts. For information on campsites and other accommodations, please call the Moab Area Travel Council at 1-800-635-6622 or Moab Central Reservations at 1-800-748-4386. If an exhibitor occupies an outdoor booth, there is no guarantee of a shady spot. Although weather is most often at its best in May, there is always a chance of rain or wind, so we recommend that exhibitors bring some form of protection from the sun, plastic to cover up displays in case of showers, and secure all property from wind. Sorry, we are unable to refund for bad weather, or for cancellations. A temporary sales tax license will be issued at no cost at the beginning of the show. The tax rate here in Moab is 7.8%. Exhibitors are responsible for reporting sales from this show directly to the Utah State Tax Commission. A 10% commission on all sales is part of the entry fee at the 2008 Moab Arts Festival. This fee is to be paid at the close of the show. No pets are allowed on the premises of the Swanny City Park. |
The Moab Arts Festival encourages applications for the display of paintings, drawings, prints, photography, ceramics, sculpture, fibers, jewelry, glass, furniture, wearable art and fine crafts. If you have questions as to whether your art can qualify, please feel free to call our office at 435-259-2742.
All work by the artist or craftsperson must be their own creative, original concept, design and execution—no T-shirts unless each is originally hand painted separately.

All items must be handmade by the exhibitor. No manufactured or imported goods will be allowed. Any artist displaying work of this sort will be asked to leave the Festival without refund of entry fees!
